| 2013 Acura ZDX: A Few Changes, Identity Crisis Still Intact Posted: 10 Oct 2012 01:03 PM PDT  A minor refresh plus a reconfigured feature set are headed to the 2013 Acura ZDX. And then it's history. The slow-selling ZDX, which was never missing beauty and aesthetic charm but always missing a clear purpose, as we saw it, has been whittled down to a single configuration, and Acura announced that this will be its final model year. On the...

| 2012 VW Passat Six-Month Road Test: What Happens When Nothing Happens? Posted: 10 Oct 2012 11:10 AM PDT  Our VW Passat TDI is entering the home stretch, after more than 7000 miles of trouble-free driving with just a lapsed satellite-radio service and an advanced odometer to show for its advancing age. Until today, when it greeted us with an overhead interior light and a radio blast, but a locked steering column and zero inclination to free up its...

| Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:20 AM PDT  The 2013 Toyota Prius continues unchanged from the previous model year. Now in the fourth year of its life, the classic 2013 Prius Liftback was joined last year by three additional models to form what has become a whole family of Prius hybrids--including the Prius C hatchback, the Prius V wagon, and the Prius Plug-In Hybrid. The 2013...

| Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:04 AM PDT  The Subaru XV Crosstrek is a new crossover vehicle that's especially carlike and compact, appealing to those who might need the snowy-weather or trail ability of a true utility vehicle but at the same those who would really prefer a package that feels (and looks) carlike. Introduced for the 2013 model year, the Crosstrek takes on the likes of the...

| Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:03 AM PDT  The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek may be best thought of as the automotive equivalent of a good cross-training shoe--not sharply honed for any one thing, but surprisingly fit and fortified for a wide range of conditions. As the epitome of a crossover, the Crosstrek looks brawnier yet not too carlike; it adds some rugged off-road ability but...

| Posted: 09 Oct 2012 05:07 PM PDT  The Suzuki Kizashi is a sporty sedan that straddles the line between compact and mid-size. The Kizashi didn't altogether fill a new product spot for Suzuki in the U.S.—it had previously sold the short-lived, Daewoo-built Verona mid-size sedan from 2004-2006—but it's the first sedan this size to be designed and built by Suzuki itself...

| Posted: 09 Oct 2012 04:49 PM PDT The Suzuki Kizashi is in some respects a better-than-average compact sedan. Yet you don't see it on U.S. streets nearly as much as you should—due mainly because Suzuki, and Suzuki dealerships, simply haven't made much of a name for themselves here. But i value for the money takes precedence over brand cachet, the Kizashi stands...

| Small Cars Ain't What They Used To Be: Infographic Posted: 09 Oct 2012 08:00 AM PDT  Yesterday, we pointed out that small cars have been selling like hotcakes -- tiny, 110-cubic-foot-sized hotcakes. Today, they represent 19.3% of America's new-car purchases, and they're on track to hit 20.5%, a market share that small cars haven't enjoyed in nearly 20 years.
